    ACPI/PPTT: Add Processor Properties Topology Table parsing · ce5f5f1c

    ACPI 6.2 adds a new table, which describes how processing units
    are related to each other in tree like fashion. Caches are
    also sprinkled throughout the tree and describe the properties
    of the caches in relation to other caches and processing units.
    
    Add the code to parse the cache hierarchy and report the total
    number of levels of cache for a given core using
    acpi_find_last_cache_level() as well as fill out the individual
    cores cache information with cache_setup_acpi() once the
    cpu_cacheinfo structure has been populated by the arch specific
    code.
    
    Further, report peers in the topology using setup_acpi_cpu_topology()
    to report a unique ID for each processing unit at a given level
    in the tree. These unique id's can then be used to match related
    processing units which exist as threads, COD (clusters
    on die), within a given package, etc.
